Bedfordshire and Luton Community Foundation - We currently run a smaller service between the hours of 1030-1330, which is targeted towards more vulnerable in society. Provision of the service has been based upon 20/25 regular users. We will be expanding the service to allow for (a) larger numbers and (b) a wider cross-section of the community. The grant will be used towards fuel bills incurred by the service, and costs associated with opening the drop-in including staffing, refreshments and cleaning. We are also requesting provision of a computer tablet for our organisation, so that we can refer people to the 'Luton Supporting You' pages of the council website. This is not currently a service we are able to offer.
